Thanks for all the replies guys! I'm not too sure if I'd be good at much of those jobs though lol. I'm not very crafty, never have been, and I'll probably never be one of those "Pinterest moms" lol. I do like the idea of being crafty with cattle skulls, but our cattle are dehorned early so all our skulls are rather plain lol. I definitely wouldn't be good with sales either, all that "trying to sell a product to someone" type of thing rubs me wrong, and I couldn't stand behind a product that I didn't believe in. Maybe I'll try working for 5 Star saddle pads lol! Baby sitting isn't my forte either, even though I have a kid of my own. Never could really get into it when I was growing up lol. Besides, everyone around where I live is very family orientated and most of the babysitting happens with family members, like grandma and grandpa. I LOVE the idea of exercising other peoples horses (or maybe the idea of pet sitting [maybe I'll do that!]) but as I stated I'm expecting another baby and I don't feel comfortable getting on a horse that I don't know.
Thanks for the ideas guys/girls! Keep them coming!
Definitely see if you can work at 5 Star. If they are close, offer benefits, and you can work with their scheduling needs it might be a great fit. (Not to mention discounts on products you would purchase, anyway!)  |

Location: sunny california | do you have a garden? a penny saved is a penny earned. I eat a lot of organic foods so a garden would save me a lot of money. i baked bread and made everything from scratch I spent just over 1/2 of what the welfare budget was when we first started out. I used cloth diapers as well |

You obviously know how to type and under grammer and puncuation. How about an online editing job. People who are aspiring writers but need an editor.
That might be a great idea! Don't have the foggiest idea on how to get started with that but it's definitely going on the list, thanks!
Also haha I'd love to do a garden sortoff thing but every year ours dies before we can eat most of it: either the heat or hail gets to it.

Location: Arkansas | One of my grandmothers sewed for the public and my other grandmother made cakes (birthday, anniversary, wedding, etc) for the public. They didn't get rich but it was nice pocket change back in the day!
Congrats on the new baby and hope you find what you're looking for on the work end. |

| We were dead broke when first married and had 4 kids in 4 years. I did not make enough to make it worth while if we had to pay a sitter so I worked evenings and weekends when my husband was home. Not stay at home jobs, but I worked in church nurseries a couple evenings a week and leased apartments on the weekends. Definitely not my choice of jobs but sometimes you have to do what you have to do. I only did this for about 2 years till my husband started making more money. Time went by quickly and it was good for my husband to be home with them. |

| There's a lot of ways to get creative and make extra money or a full time income from home. Network Marketing is awesome, but you HAVE to do it the right way...you can't bug and pester people (get some training and learn to do it right). Try www.msiroyalty.com theres a lot of younger kids making money with their cell phone and an app. But truly, anything is possible and get creative. |
